Botanical Gardens Bonn

Tropical Greenhouses, giant trees and useful plants.

Right in the heart of Bonn, you can enjoy tropical splendour in the
conservatories of the famous Botanical Garden at the Poppelsdorf Castle.

Here you can see some 11,000 plant species, that is several times the number of species occurring naturally in Germany, cultivated on its 13 hectares.

The Bonn University Botanical Gardens are one of the oldest and most
traditional botanical gardens in Germany and are conveniently located within walking distance of the main station just next to the Poppelsdorf Castle.

Open daily 9 – 18 hrs except Saturdays (March – October).

Admission is free of charge.

An English leaflet about the gardens is available from the secretariat or as a download from HERE.
